Summary: Explores the far-reaching consequences of Gadamer's hermeneutical critique of aestheticsGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748686223','ISBN:9780748686230','ISBN:9780748686247']);Hans-Georg Gadamer's poetics completely overturns the European aesthetic tradition. By concentrating on the experience of meaning, Unfinished Worlds shows how Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics transforms aesthetics into a mode of attentive practice. Gadamer's poetics has deep implications for all of the humanities, and how we can understand the meaning of poetry, art, literature, history and theology. His emphasis on participation promises an approach that will revolutionise aesthetic and hermeneutic practice, and gives us new ways to think about the cultural productivity and social legitimacy of the humanities.Read and download the introduction of Unfinished Worlds for free on our website now (pdf)"
